Thank you for sharing an update!
I'm glad to hear what you did, and how it helped. That is so helpful to others that may need ideas and encouragement too. I had to do that for my ds with subtraction and borrowing too. It surprised me how just slowing down and repeating what we'd done for a few days seemed to be enough to get him over the hump. It sounds like you found the same to be true for your dd - hooray!!!
I have had to adjust my thinking with math. I used to get frantic, thinking if I didn't do a lesson a day every single day, I'd make my dc fall behind and they might not be able to catch up. I've been trying to get better about being more flexible with the pacing of math lately. Deltagal had mentioned on another thread the importance of making sure dc understand each part of the Reviews before moving on, and I really took that to heart. Yesterday, I went through the problems my ds missed in his review again, writing the same kind of problems on paper for him to do. It was easy to see what he needed help with, and after correcting a few things he was doing wrong, the lightbulb went on for him and he was good to go. I think those few extra days will be worth it in the long run. Kuddos to you figuring that out already! It took me a bit longer.
In Christ,
Julie
Yeah!
